You don't flush toilet paper in most places in China because the plumbing clogs; it's actually very normal not to do this. Usually you take it out with the trash though.

Huh. Genuine culture shock moment. Is it easier on waste treatment, not dealing with the dissolved paper? Or just a cost trade-off for plumbing installation?

Edit: guess it also makes sense anywhere bidets are more prevalent.

I've used public bathrooms in the US that ask customers to throw used toilet paper in the garbage can for the same reason.
